  Fascinating @ajassy but can all you tech dudes stop calling this AI stuff Q as my email box explodes with the QAnon folks spouting conspiracy theories at me every time you do.

• @moskov Dustin Moskovitz on threads

  Lol no way.  I thought of this *other* fictional super intelligent Q first.  [Screenshot: “A preview version of Q- named after the character in the James Bond movies — is available now, and several of its features are” next to the screenshot of Star Trek character]

  Q is going to be a big deal - it's Amazon's version of what Microsoft calls “copilots”. in the console, in the docs, in IDE, in Slack. this is the future of docs. also we've all been complaining AWS has become too complicated and unwieldy. Q is an abstraction that could help.

• @mjasay Matt Asay on x

  To counterbalance my earlier comments, @awscloud has needed to get back to industry leadership, and Amazon Q does that in significant ways. James covers some of this below. Is Q hugely ambitious? Yes. Will it all work “out of the box”? Of course not. But it sets the right tone.

• @mndoci Deepak Singh on x

  Amazon Q is here. If you're building on AWS, our goal is to change how you build and interact with AWS. From helping you with getting information in the console to developing new features in the IDE to Java migrations, Q is here for you. https://aws.amazon.com/... [image]

  Testing Amazon Q AI with a large client right now that has been side swiped by OpenAI drama. I have been impressed thus far. [video]

• @monkchips @monkchips on x

  there are not going to be lots of Qs - one for each service, but rather one Q that is cross service. *very* different for Amazon, a cross cutting concern across all products for ops, troubleshooting, development. create the plan, then scaffold, architect and manage. #AWSreInvent

  Hugely excited around the promise of Amazon Q. Thanks to @FarrahC32, @mreferre and @rchrdbyd I got early access to some of features focused on AWS best practice as an AI intelligent chatbot in the console, and it rapidly became a tool I used daily https://dev.to/...

  New amazon Q assistant is biggest new AWS announcement yet! Amazon Q = microsoft Co-pilot. Note they called it AMAZON Q (not AWS Q). For code writing, biz assistance and likely more across amazon apps and services

• @quinnypig Corey Quinn on x

  True story: The first incarnation of the @DuckbillGroup was called “The Quinn Advisory Group,” and the logo was a stylized Q. Had we not already reformed the company, we would have changed that branding immediately after January 6 because we are not, y'know. Idiots.

• @quinnypig Corey Quinn on x

  #awswishlist Give me an option to kill the Amazon Q chatbot dingus on the @awscloud website. Yes, I can minimize it, but (especially on small screens) the orange speech bubble is incredibly distracting—at least to me. Please don't make me build a browser extension for this.

• @quinnypig Corey Quinn on x

  Amazon Q is launching in preview for only $20 a month per user with a 10 user minimum. The road to “Go build!” increasingly has a tollbooth.

• @benbajarin Ben Bajarin on x

  This point is the same for all hyperscalers making custom silicon. The bet here, is at some point, developers won't pick specific silicon instances but rather choose the variable (price, performance, etc) and the services layer puts your workload on the right piece of silicon.
